Transatlantic Subjects
As a thorough review of issues of indigeneity, state status, and concomitant gender discrimination in modern Native communities in Canada, Lawrence's clear and readable study would be worth the effort'but her detailed interviews, quoted at length, with members of Indigenous communities in modern Toronto give this legal and anthropological work marrow, flesh, and blood. While the book focuses on this particular aspect of state identity creation, anyone interested in the mechanics, strategies, and tactics of state power (and community formation in conversation with and against state power) will find good material here.
Also, it's just really well-written! Even when the going gets technical, Lawrence's prose remains fluid and considered. And, unlike many texts about tangled social issues, this one really seems to feel the moral weight of the problems it outlines, and reach toward solutions.
